Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 538
The two generals immediately bowed to accept their orders and left quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jiyun said solemnly to a black-faced general with a hulking back and a black face like an iron tower beside him: "Second uncle! You take two thousand cavalry and fifteen thousand infantry out of the city from the west gate to attack the camp of the Song army's central army. If you can defeat the enemy Best, if nothing can be done, you bring people to meet Sixth Uncle and the others to enter the city."

This general, whom Li Jiyun called his second uncle, was named ***, and he was also a well-known fierce general in Xiazhou. Li Guangrui took people to Hengshan and left Li Jiyun to guard Xiazhou, but he deliberately left ***, so he It is to let him assist Li Jiyun.

*** Hearing this, with a bloodthirsty smile on his face, he nodded to Li Jiyun and said, "Don't worry, Jiyun, if the Song Army can't be defeated under such circumstances, I will have no face to stay in Xiazhou."

After speaking, he turned around and strode down the city wall.

Soon, the south and north gates of Xiazhou opened wide, and five hundred cavalry rushed out each, and began to harass and contain the two camps of the Song army in the north and south.Immediately afterwards, the west gate opened wide, and Mao Zedong led two thousand cavalry and fifteen thousand infantry to charge towards the camp of the Song Army's middle army.

The camp of the Song Army's Central Army is located in the northwest of the army, and Huang Dongqiu's men and horses are in command. Huang Dongqiu is worthy of being a fierce general. The soldiers in Xiazhou City are also extremely brave and not weak in combat power. , It was inconvenient to command at night, and soon the army defeated the Song army that intercepted him, and retreated to both sides. Mao Zedong didn't chase after him, and led the army straight to the camp where the commander of the Chinese army camp was.

Kill the commander-in-chief, and then join Li Guangyan's [-] cavalry on the other side, and then kill all directions. At that time, the Song Army's middle camp will naturally collapse completely.

He thought so, and he did the same, and the process was relatively smooth, but he didn't find the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army.

In the flames, the sounds of fighting continued, and the Song army was retreating steadily. *** recognized the leaders of the oncoming cavalry. They were clearly the generals who followed Li Guangrui to Hengshan more than ten days ago, and one of them was even * **'s biological son Li Jisi.Looking behind the generals, they are Xiazhou elite cavalry.The last bit of doubt completely dissipated, and the generals on the opposite side also recognized ***, and saluted him immediately as they approached.

*** nodded and said, "Why isn't Li Guangyan here?"

***Son Li Jisi said at the right time: "Father, my fourth uncle took people to chase after the commander-in-chief of the Central Army of the Song Army."

*** also asked casually, thinking that this skill is still Li Guangyan's after all.

While thinking like this, he said: "Okay, now the Song Army's central army is close to collapse, let's fight again, it is most inappropriate to divide troops at night, you come and join us, and then kill like this, the Song Army's central army will naturally collapse .”

Li Jisi led the cavalry to join the army led by his father Mao Zedong.

"You" a general next to *** shouted suddenly.

However, it was too late by this time.

"kill!"

With a roar, Li Jisi swung the scimitar in his hand, and his father's head flew out beside him.

At the same time, [-] party elite cavalry controlled by Ye Chen with Gu worms suddenly attacked and killed the generals and soldiers who came out of Xiazhou City.

So caught off guard, without the slightest warning, thousands of cavalrymen in the army who followed Mao were killed in an instant. Except for Mao, the other generals standing in front were almost killed. More than 1 troops suddenly lost effective command. Some low-level officers suddenly felt bad and ordered to turn around and try to escape with their own troops. In short, the formation of ground formations for defense, in short, almost immediately became a mess, and each fought independently, which fully demonstrated the serious problems that would arise after an army lost the command of generals at all levels.

At the same time, shouts of killing suddenly came from all directions. The Song Army, who was still retreating steadily just now, suddenly turned around and killed them.

In addition to the more than 1 horsemen under Huang Qiudong's command and the 5000 elite cavalry brought by Ye Chen, there are also people who obeyed Ye Chen's orders before the start of the war and took advantage of the cover of the night to recruit troops from Lu Long, Tang Peng, Zhe Yuxun and Yang Chongxun. Of the 3 men and horses transferred from each of them, the Song army totaled more than 1, plus the elite cavalry brought by Ye Chen from Hengshan, what would happen if the panicked Xiazhou army surrounded and killed more than [-] people, I don't need to talk about it.

On the city wall of Xiazhou, Li Jiyun could only see the signs of the collapse of the Song Army's middle army camp, but he couldn't see the specific situation at all.

At this moment, there were faint shouts of killing in the direction of Li's City Lord's Mansion in the city.

Li Jiyun frowned, and shouted: "Go to a group of people to see what's going on?"

There were a hundred guards around Li Jiyun, and a general ran down the city wall with 20 people and left quickly. Li Jiqian, who came back from Hengshan, suddenly let out a scream, knelt down on one knee to Li Jiyun, and said, "Young master! Don't be damned, don't you!" When the general was in Hengshan, the patriarch once said that there might be spies from the Song army in Xiazhou city, but the last general forgot to report this to the young master the day before yesterday. Please punish the young master."

Li Jiyun frowned slightly, and said, "Jiqian! You must pay attention next time. In a situation like this, you must not forget everything my father said."

Li Jiqian respectfully said yes again and again.

Seeing this, Li Jiyun calmed down a little, and said, "Okay! Get up! Even if there are spies from the Song army in the city, they are just clowns."

However, at this moment, a shout came from the east of the city, resounding through most of Xiazhou City.

"It's not good, the grain and grass are on fire, come and put out the fire."

Li Jiyun's complexion changed, and he turned his head to look, and found that the east of the city was already ablaze, and the location was where the grain and grass were.His face suddenly turned ugly. One of the most critical points in whether he can hold Xiazhou City is to have sufficient food and grass. Otherwise, no matter how strong the soldiers defending the city or how good the generals are, it will be useless.

Han Chengju felt more and more uneasy, thought for a while, and said to Li Jiyun: "My lord, when the large granaries and the hayfields were built, they considered that someone would set fire to them, so there was still some distance between them. Look at the fire. Only one or two places were burned, but at this time we must strictly guard against other grain and hay fields to prevent them from being set on fire by thieves.”

Li Jiyun thought about it, and was about to order the mobilization of the army, Han Chengju said: "Young master, don't mobilize the army, in case there is a change in the battle outside the city."

Although Li Jiyun felt that there would not be any major changes in the battle situation outside the city, he thought that there were only about 1000 troops left in the city, 500 on the top of the city, and 500 to [-] guards at each of the other four gates.The number of people was indeed not much. After thinking about it, he remembered that there were still [-] people stationed in the City Lord's Mansion.Then he ordered these [-] people to put out the fire and guard other food and grass.

However, at this moment, a soldier ran up in a panic, with a mournful look on his face, and said in a panic: "Young master! It's bad, assassins appeared in the city lord's mansion, the food was poisoned, and more than 600 people in the mansion were poisoned and unconscious. All the guards have been poisoned to death."

"What did you say?" Li Jiyun's complexion changed drastically, and he looked in disbelief. He walked over three steps at a time, pinched the soldier's neck, and asked loudly.

The soldiers cried and said: "Young master, the thief poisoned the well, and it was a chronic poison. It took half a day to drink the water before it took effect. During this time, everyone in the mansion had already drank water. So everyone Poisoned, but except for the five hundred guards, the others are just unconscious."

Li Jiyun shook his body, and asked with luck: "Where are my three sons and several wives?"

The soldiers hurriedly said: "The young master's three sons and several wives have not been found, it seems that they were kidnapped by thieves."

"Come here, give me an order. 600 people will be dispatched from the east gate to guard the grain and put out the fire. In addition, 3000 people will be taken from all sections of the city wall to search the city and find these despicable spies of the Song Army. I will burn them alive. .”

This order needs to be issued to each section of the city wall. Thirty of the 50 guards around Li Jiyun left, leaving only [-] people.In addition, Han Chengju, the only general other than Li Jiqian, also turned around and left. At this time, Li Jiyun obviously couldn't listen to the words of dissuasion, but the troops on the city wall were withdrawn, and he had to readjust the defense.

At this time, besides Li Jiyun's fifty personal soldiers, only Li Jiqian and his ten personal soldiers were left on the city.

Outside the city, the battle in the middle camp of the Song army was coming to an end. Five thousand elite cavalry under the control of Ye Chen and wearing the clothes of the party army rushed out of the camp of the middle army of the Song army. The general led the team at the front and rushed to the city gate.

Li Jiyun saw this scene in his eyes, and felt a little regretful in his heart. In his opinion, the attack on the camp outside the city seemed to kill a lot of enemies, but it did not make the Song army collapse.After recognizing Li Jisi and other generals from Hengshan by the light of the fire, he glanced behind him. There were many familiar faces, and they were indeed his own.Then he waved his hand and ordered to open the city gate and let people in.The huge rocks and logs blocking the city gate were quickly moved away, and the suspension bridge was lowered at the top of the city.

Five thousand elite cavalry rushed in, people like dragons and horses like tigers, but the moment they rushed in, they swung their scimitars at the defenders in the city.This is where the killing begins.

Seeing this, Li Jiyun on the top of the wall suddenly changed his face, his face was incredulous and unbelievable. He was about to say something or give an order, but suddenly his heart froze, and he flashed to the left. Li Jiqian, who was closest to him, stabbed him with a short knife However, the leg of the soldier five steps behind Li Jiqian flew over at some point and kicked Li Jiyun's head.Then Li Jiyun's head exploded, and his body was pulled and fell directly from the top of the city. He couldn't die anymore.
